Description:

Produced circa 1942-1943. Fixed blade and notch sights, with the proper two-line markings on either side of the barrel and the "ordnance bomb" stamp on the left side of the frame. With a shipping box made out to 1st Lieutenant George E Kelly of the 346th Signal Service Company, Colt Commando manual and test target, barrel brush in cardboard sleeve and a note signed by and letterheaded to George Kelly, stating that he purchased the revolver as Naval Ordnance Surplus in Saipan in April of 1945. No additional information on the Lieutenant or his Company was available at the time of writing.

Rating Definition:

Excellent plus. The revolver retains 99% plus of the original parkerized finish, showing a very light cylinder drag line and some minor handling marks overall. The grips are excellent with a few tiny nicks on the lower edges and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is good with tears in the lid and tape repaired corners. Mechanically excellent.
